At least it won’t be a kernel-level solution.

65 watts will be fine without the dGPU module. If anything, the CPU will be limited to a slightly lower wattage (see here). EDIT: this seems to be a bug.

Friendly reminder that this game ships with Denuvo.

Whether free will exists or not would add a whole new layer to this discussion that you could easily add to almost any discussion as a wildcard. If we assume that using Windows vs Linux is predetermined as opposed to being a choice, this whole comment tree doesn’t make any sense. So let’s not go there.

In my opinion, if quitting playing a couple of games really is life changing to you, you have deeper problems. If your so-called friends can’t understand why you quit a game over something that’s more important (to you), then find different people who do. That’s almost as stupid as American kids excluding other kids for not using iMessage/iPhone. Doesn’t mean your friends have to stop playing these games, but you can share other moments with them. Other games, conversations, other activities altogether.

x86/x64 code is pretty much 100% compatible between AMD and Intel. On the GPU side it’s not that simple but Sony would’ve “just” had to port over their GNM(X) graphics APIs to Intel (Arc, presumably). Just like most PC games work completely fine and in the same way between Nvidia, AMD and Intel GPUs. But they have to do that anyway to some extent even with newer GPU architectures from AMD, because PS4’s GCN isn’t 1:1 compatible to PS5’s RDNA2 on an architectural level, and the PS4’s Jaguar CPU isn’t even close to PS5’s Zen 2.

Other than that, you’re right. Sony wouldn’t switch to Intel unless they got a way better chip and/or way better deal, and I don’t think Intel was ready with a competitive GPU architecture back when the PS5’s specifications were set in stone.

Downvote all you want, but that’s how it is. People prioritize certain things over others - and that’s completely fine - but don’t pretend like they don’t have a choice. On the contrary, more people switching to a Linux distribution despite incompatible games would lead to these games more likely adopting Linux compatibility.

Unfortunately, a lot of those are super popular and there are still gamers that don’t want to switch to Linux but can’t because of those games.

FTFY because of course most of these people could switch and just stop playing these couple of games, that’s hardly life changing.

The “Apple TV” is Apple hardware.

I’m not sure how that would help in letting lost people go.

Oh I see. According to the article:

The GAZEpolit researchers reported their findings to Apple in April and subsequently sent the company their proof-of-concept code so the attack could be replicated. Apple fixed the flaw in a Vision Pro software update at the end of July, which stops the sharing of a Persona if someone is using the virtual keyboard.

An Apple spokesperson confirmed the company fixed the vulnerability, saying it was addressed in VisionOS 1.3.

That should be an easy fix in a future software update by simply not replicating eye movement as soon as the user is looking at the keyboard.

How do you not do that? It’s all in your local network, how would it not work offline…?

The first game I bought for my dusty PS5 in years. I think the last one I bought was actually Rift Apart.

What does Apple or Apple’s pricing of products in completely different product categories have to do with this?

Except that in every other generation the console actually got a lot cheaper after a couple of years.

Sure, but thinking that your system is immune to vulnerabilities just because you use Linux is stupid.

I don’t get why people post “uhh but Linux!!!” comments under just about every post about a security issue with Windows. Linux and its distros have security issues as well and you should always keep your system up-to-date either way.

Replace the 3060 with an equally-priced AMD card and you’ll actually get something decent for your money. Nvidia is horrible at these “lower” price points.

To me it’s something I just don’t want to have to think about. I already pay a lot for the device either way, so I want it to just work and not juggle around apps/media/etc.

My current iPhone is a 512 GB model and current usage is around 210 GB with photos already in iCloud. Record a couple of 4K videos and a 256 GB model would be full in no time (before uploading to the cloud, which can take a while when you’re on the go with flaky network conditions).

My next phone will have at least 512 GB again, and I’m thinking about 1 TB as well, although the upgrade pricing is quite steep.

Yes, it’s a bug in KDE Plasma that might be fixed with 6.2: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=487780

It is, but then again many (most) are hosted on GitHub.
